Ghandi

Just found this print, and you can download it here, for freeeee. I think its great for a little inspiration each day. And my husband said its very hippiesh of me to like Ghandi... whatevs.

did you watch

not from the most recent show but I had this picture, because I love their house.

Did you watch How I met Your Mother on Monday? I am still freaking out. Why did they have the countdown? And why was the ending so sad? Why HIMYM why? On a completely unrelated topic, I may or may not have gotten way too emotional over a fictional TV show.

house inspiration

So, if you haven't, you should check out Design*sponge...I'm not linking to them, they're in my blog roll over there. Every week they host house sneek peeks which are always so inspiring to me. But this one Lara Collins has got me so inspired! I want our house to look pretty much like this. I love the flow of the colors, the whole house is very cohesive. I love the relaxing color scheme. And the artwork everywhere too. And this sneek peek was just up today. Its pretty crazy how much I want to recreate it with out ever seeing it before today. So, thats what is going to keep me busy for the new year.

Let it Snow

Its snowing again, which is good because its been unusually warm here. And luckily I have lots to do in the house today. Because I do not feel like going out. I just want to curl up in front of the TV with my Freaks and Geeks box set. I'd like my TV area to look like this:

So maybe I'll start working on that. What do your TV centers look like?

Oh Christmas Tree

And the picture won't rotate, making me believe even more, that it's evil.

Our Christmas tree is not something very special this year. It's special in that its decorated and presents are starting to add up under it. But I'm convinced its evil. It is an evil tree sent to us by some one like Jack the Pumpkin King. First its crooked. The bottom part of the trunk is straight and then somewhere father up it takes a turn left. So just putting it up was frustrating. And its some type of Scottish Fir, which now means to me that it's a death tree. When trying to decorate it the needles were so sharp, it was like being attacked by a tree with real sewing needles on it. We thought that would go away, that it was just freshly cut and would soften up. Nope. It still sucks if we have to hang an ornament back on it.

And the other night while unplugging the lights before going to bed, it fell on me. But really I think it jumped and attacked me. And then I yelped for TJ and when we finally got the thing re-situated, my arms looked like I had been bitten by a thousand fleas from the sharp little needles.

And now its decided to die on us so the needles are everywhere, and my son feeds them to the dog which can't be good at all. Also, Kemp thought it was a good idea to take a bite of a glass ornament.... don't worry, he's fine and was relatively unscratched. But really??

Hope everyone's holidays are going well. I'm enjoying a winter wonderland, but I think I got excited for Christmas too soon and now I'm a little bah humbug. It happens every year. But the fresh snow helps. What do you do to enjoy the season?

wish list

Here are a few of my hoping for's this season:

corked necklace in color wheel

freaks and geeks

the sonnets and a lovers complaint

classic trench coat

admiral pea coat

coconut by martisse boots in tan

entry

We just got a new console for the entry way. Mostly so we have a place to put all our stuff right when we walk in the door, and the space where its at needed something to fill the space.

While I would love it to look like the second picture, I think I'm going to tone down the color ( a little) and it will look something like the first picture. I have the credit for the pictures somewhere just can't remember...
